Are biologicals just the latest buzzword—or are they the future of farming?
In this episode of The Granary, host Damian Mason sits down with Curt Knight and Trey Cutts from Tidal Grow Agriscience, along with Iowa farmer and attorney Adam Ulrich, to tackle one of agriculture's biggest questions: Can biologicals eventually replace synthetic fertilizers and crop protection products?
The conversation breaks down the often-confusing world of biologicals, biostimulants, biofertilizers, and biosolutions while separating real science from the "snake oil" reputation that still lingers around parts of the industry. The group explores how biological products can improve residue breakdown, unlock nutrients already in the soil, strengthen plant health, and potentially reduce dependence on traditional chemistry—all while discussing the economic realities, environmental pressures, and regulatory challenges farmers face.
Will biologicals completely replace synthetic inputs? Or will the future of farming be about finding the right balance between biology and chemistry? Pull up a chair and join the conversation.
This episode is presented by Tidal Grow Agriscience.
